# Duette Blinds

The double-layer form of the honeycomb. Two separate air cushions, solid insulation.

## Duette Blind Categories

Double-layer Duette fabric is divided into sheer, dim-out, blackout, pattern and print classes. The class matching the scenario is marked.

Every mounting scenario calling for drilling, hanging or in-channel seating is examined per scenario on the [Duette Blind Installation Types](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/duette-blind-installation-types/) page; the places the series are fitted are shown under [application areas](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/duette-blind-application-areas/).

## What Is a Duette Blind?

 A Duette blind is a cellular blind produced from double-layer cellular fabric. Seen from the side, two back-to-back rows of hexagons are visible. Air is trapped in two pockets — delivering a stronger thermal barrier and softer light filtering than the single layer.

Its working logic is the same as the [honeycomb blind](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/honeycomb-blinds/). The headrail, rail and mounting architecture are shared — the difference is in the fabric layers. The comparison table puts the two families side by side.

Selection Guide

## Where Does Duette Make a Difference?

Honeycomb is enough on a standard window. The four scenarios where the double layer stands out are below.

- [Bedroom Blackout and insulation in one fabric. Dark by night, warm in winter.](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/screw-mounted-duette-blind/)
- [Conservatory Two air pockets — the strongest interior barrier on a glass surface.](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/glazing-bead-duette-blind/)
- [Skylight The two-end folding system works on sloped ceilings.](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/duette-blind-systems/)
- [Wide Glass Façade Harsh daylight is filtered through two layers. A soft brightness remains.](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/adhesive-duette-blind/)

## Duette or Honeycomb?

Two families in the same table. The decision is in the fabric layers.

Comparison of honeycomb and Duette blinds by fabric structure, air pockets, thermal contribution, light filtering and blackout success
Feature — Honeycomb — Duette
Layer layout — Single-layer cell — Double layer — nested cells
Air pockets — 1 — 2
Thermal contribution — Standard — High
Light filtering — Clear — Softer, more diffused
Blackout success — Good — The highest — cell air + blackout fabric
Ideal scenario — Standard window — Bedroom, conservatory and skylight

Both families use the same headrail and mounting architecture. The difference is only in the fabric layers.

## Mounting Types

Duette fabric sits with five connection styles. The mounting detail is shown when hovering the relevant row.

Duette blind mounting types — drilling need, removal ease and note for the five connections
Model — Drilling — Removal — Connection Note
Screw-Mounted Duette Blind — Yes — Hard — Stable, long-lasting operation on large glazing
Adhesive Duette Blind — No — Medium — Fitted without harming the joinery
Glazing-Bead (Portray) Duette Blind — No — Easy — Opens and closes with the window
Hook-Mounted Duette Blind — No — In a minute — Fast fitting, easy removal
Bracket-Mounted Duette Blind — Yes — Medium — Frameless areas. The headrail is carried to the façade plane

- Green. No-drill or easy-removal mounting
- Amber. Drilling required or removal is laborious

On skylight applications, carrying safety takes priority over removal ease — motorised and screw-mounted are preferred.

## Duette Fabric Classes

Three light-transmission levels. All are double layer — the difference is how much light the lining cuts.

- Diffused light **Transparent Duette** — Double-layer transparent. Harsh daylight passes through two fabrics and spreads evenly across the room. Blackout
- Light Filtering
- Thermal Barrier

- Transmission: High — shadowless brightness

- Privacy: Partial by day

- Ideal for: Living room, work area

- Balanced **Semi-Opaque (Dimout)** — A double layer gently cutting the light. The silhouette is invisible, the room does not darken. Blackout
- Light Filtering
- Thermal Barrier

- Transmission: Medium — cuts the silhouette

- Privacy: Full

- Ideal for: Bedroom and living room

- Full blackout **Blackout Duette** — A light-proof lined double layer. The cell air also reduces leakage — the strongest barrier. Blackout
- Light Filtering
- Thermal Barrier

- Transmission: Near zero

- Privacy: Full

- Ideal for: Sleeping room and conservatory

All three classes are produced with the same double-layer cell architecture. The lining sets blackout success; the mounting type sets edge leakage.

## Duette in Four Steps

The decision for the two-layer fabric starts with the glass measurement and room details.

01. **Tell Us the Glazing and the Room** — Bedroom, conservatory or skylight. Measurement and room details from three channels land in one file.
02. **Layer Decision Made** — Duette or honeycomb? Single or double layer is settled with the quote according to need.
03. **Double Layer Prepared** — The Duette fabric is formed to measurement. The delivery window is in the quote.
04. **On-Site Fitting or Courier** — On-site fitting is done by the crew within the service area. For other cities, a pack with installation video ships by courier.

- Two Air Pockets A double-layer cell. A stronger thermal barrier than the single-layer structure.
- Soft Brightness Harsh daylight is filtered through two layers — a diffused brightness remains in the room.
- Two-End Folding Bottom fixed with a folding top, or both ends meeting in the middle. The skylight solution.

## Questions About Duette Blinds

Are Duette and honeycomb blinds the same thing?

Same family, different layers. Honeycomb is a single row of cells; Duette is a double row. In Duette the air is trapped in two pockets — a stronger thermal barrier and softer light filtering. "Duette" is the market name for double-layer cellular fabric.

When is a Duette recommended?

In three scenarios: the bedroom (when blackout and insulation are wanted together), the conservatory (when heat loss through the glass surface is high), and skylights and sloped glazing (when the diffused brightness of the double layer is needed).

Does a Duette blind really darken?

Blackout Duette fabric gives the highest blackout success. The air layer inside the cell also reduces light leakage. The edge gap depends on the mounting type — lowest with glazing-bead fitting.

Can it be made for a skylight?

Yes. The two-end folding structure folds on sloped surfaces too. Because reach is difficult, the motorised model is recommended for ceiling applications.

Does it have an effect on sound transmission?

The double-layer cell structure dampens outside noise better than a single layer. It is not acoustic insulation, but the contribution is felt.

How do I send measurements and room details?

Measurements and room details are sent through three channels — WhatsApp, phone or the quote form — all connected to the same record. The glass measurement is enough. The layer decision is made together according to the use scenario.
